Lars' 40th Birthday!!

 One of us was really excited for this day! Well really the whole weekend :)

And it was not Lars! He was not looking forward to turning 40. Maybe I will feel the same way in a year and a half?

Anyway I was excited though because I had lots of plans in the works and couldn't wait for them to unfold.

I invited his parents to come up for the weekend, so they arrived on Friday afternoon. That was actually supposed to be a surprise, but I ended up telling him because he was about to call and ask them to come.

We just hung out that night, Gunnar had a birthday party to go to and Ashton played with friends while I baked cakes and Lars watched tv with his parents.

Then Saturday we decided to go skiing, just him and me while Nana and Papa watched the boys...they took them to the fun park and lunch.

We had lots of fun skiing alone that day!

 Then we came home and got showered, I told him we had dinner reservations at Elements at 5:30. Grandma and Grandpa Harry showed up while I was getting ready and surprised him. Then Uncle Jordan actually showed up late to dinner and Lars was really surprised by that too. There was an extra seat at our table and he could not figure out who it was for!

Then of course our dinner took FOREVER! I had planned a big surprise party for him at our house after dinner, so I had my neighbor Dana go decorate and let people in and I kept having to text her under the table telling her that we would be later than I thought. I really didn't know if I could pull off this surprise, but when we walked into the dark house and everyone jumped up and yelled surprise and I saw the look on his face, I knew I'd gotten him!

It was so fun!

And funny because all day up skiing he went on and on about how he was glad I hadn't planned some big thing for him etc...etc...!

What a fun night and when all was said and done, I know Lars was glad I did this! :)
One more surprise up next...
